Chapter 489
Billionaire’s Missing Darling
Instantly, the food Daniel was eating was no longer tasty.
Daniel was no longer in the mood to maintain his composure and began to eat slowly.
The four of them finished eating, but Daniel was still eating some desserts that had been brought out.
For just a small piece of burnt cheesecake, he chewed about 12 times before swallowing it.
âDoes he not have an appetite?â Olivia wondered.
Olivia looked worried. She remembered that Daniel always ate very quickly and had never eaten so slowly before.
Olivia lowered her head and thought about it. I have to prepare something easy to digest for dinner later. She thought.
The elders of the familiar The breakfast that lasted for more than half an hour finally ended. had been waiting outside for a long time. When they heard that Daniel had finished his breakfast, they immediately came over and invited Daniel to watch the competition. Todayâs competition was going to be very intense. It was one of the three main events of the Star Competition, the Voodoo Worm Competition. It had always been the focus of the elites of various families.
The participants would control their voodoo worms and make all kinds. of difficult movements. They could also fight with other voodoo worms. Lucy was also a participant in this competition. She had always been the elite among the rich thirdâgeneration and had a tacit understanding with her voodoo worms. Lucy had already won two consecutive championships.
This time-
Lucy was determined to win as well.
The few elders chatted for a long time, but Danielâs expression remained indifferent. Daniel sat on the sofa calmly, as if he was not interested in the competition.
Seeing this, Braeden was a little anxious.
Todayâs competition was Lucyâs home ground. It was also a perfect. opportunity for the Lopez Family.
Daniel would definitely have a good impression of the Lopez Family after seeing Lucy win the championship by showcasing her skills in controlling her voodoo worms.
res Missing Darling At the thought of this, Braeden spared no effort in inviting him. âDaniel, the Voodoo Worm Competition this time is especially intense. All the elites of the four families will be mobilized. You can see all kinds of voodoo worms.
Danielâs eyes were indifferent and there was no expression on his face. âDaniel?â Braeden was anxious.
Daniel ignored Braeden and suddenly turned to look at Olivia and the rest who were sitting opposite him. Daniel asked, âDo you want to watch it?â
They did not expect Daniel to ask for their opinions. Lucy and the others immediately became nervous, not knowing what was going on.
Irene was so excited that she stuttered, âI⦠Iâ¦â.
Hearing this, Daniel frowned slightly. His gaze was filled with disdain, and he casually turned to look at Olivia. It looked like a subconscious action. Daniel asked, âSaintess, how about you? Do you want to watch?â Olivia was sitting on the sofa in a daze. When Daniel suddenly asked her the question, Olivia did not react for a moment. After a while, she replied. slowly, âThe Voodoo Worm Competition is very interesting.â Charlee had. been nagging Olivia for a long time, saying that the Voodoo Worm Competition was interesting.
Olivia had heard it many times and was also curious, so she wanted to take a look.
âOkay.â The corners of Danielâs mouth twitched as he nodded lightly. âSince Saintess said itâs interesting, letâs go take a look and see how interesting it is.â
With that, Daniel stood up and walked towards the door.
When Braeden saw this, he hurriedly followed after Daniel. When Braeden reached the door, he suddenly turned around and gave Olivia a deep look.
Braeden started to wonder, âAm I thinking too much? Was Daniel asking casually, or was he really asking for Saintessâ opinion?â
Braeden frowned and decided that he would ask Lucy about the situation. in Maple Villa..
The competition venue was already packed with people. People from the four different families were all gathered around to watch the competition.
ucy was a participant, so she quickly went backstage to prepare. Charlee was also participating in this competition, so Olivia went to see her Seeing Olivia, Charlee was very happy. âSaintess, why are you here?â Although she had been happy to see Olivia, Charlee quickly became depressed and said nervously, âSaintess, Iâm so scared. You were the one who thought of a way to catch this voodoo worm for me. Itâs different from the voodoo worms that others have raised for many years. We donât have any tacit understanding between us at all. What if⦠it doesnât listen to me during the competition?â
âDonât worry.â The corners of Oliviaâs lips curled up. Her tone was calm and confident. âIâm here.â
Olivia was very proficient in medicine and voodoo, Comparatively, Olivia was not that good at controlling voodoo worms. However, it was just that she was inexperienced. It did not mean that she couldnât do it.
Olivia had already taught this voodoo worm a few simple instructions. âIf nothing goes wrong, it shouldnât perform too badly! Olivia thought.
âItâs just that I donât know the level of the other voodoo worms. Can they beat Charleeâs worm?â Olivia wondered.
Thinking of this, Olivia said, âBring me backstage to see the other voodoo worms.â Olivia could estimate Charleeâs ranking by looking at the quality and strength of the other voodoo worms.
The voodoo worms were all in small cages backstage. Some were quiet and motionless, while others were jumping around and making noise. Olivia looked at them one by one and realized that very few voodoo worms were comparable to Charleeâs worm.
Olivia turned around and patted Charleeâs shoulder, encouraging her, âGood luck, you will definitely get a good ranking.â
Oliviaâs tone was low and powerful. Charlee had not been very confident at first, but after hearing this, she immediately became energetic. Charlee clenched her right fist and said, âSaintess, donât worry. I will do my best!â The competition was about to begin. Olivia returned to the audience area. and sat next to Daniel.
Daniel did not seem to notice Olivia. He kept his gaze straight ahead as if she was just an unimportant person.
Seeing this, Olivia secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
kily it seems like Daniel doesnât recognize me. He was probably just Casually asking about watching the competition earlier. Olivia thought. Lucy was the champion of the previous Voodoo Worm Competition, so the occupied the best position this time and was the first to compete. The competition was about to begin, and the noisy crowd around them became quiet. All of them stared fixedly at the competition arena. Braeden sat in the audience with a proud expression. From the corner of his eye, he kept glancing at Daniel.
Unlike the other contestants, Lucy did not release her voodoo worm from the cage. Instead, she lowered her head, placed her hands in front of her chest, and made a gesture with her hands.
Seeing this, the entire venue fell silent. Everyone held their breaths.
âOh my goodness, can she let the voodoo worm open its own cage? This is really difficult. No one has succeeded before.â
This collective thought was shared by everyone there.
Lucy had thrown a surprise right from the start, eclipsing the participants. who had their turn after hers.
Lucy stood on the high platform in a long red dress. Lucy lowered her head and made a gesture. The wind blew her long hair behind her, making her look like a fairy.
For a moment, the audience did not know if they should look at Lucy or her voodoo worm.
Lucy made a complicated gesture with her hands.
The audience held their breath as they looked at the cage, wanting to see how the voodoo worm would come out from its cage.
Olivia was also a little curious. This was actually similar to taming beasts. It required a lot of surprise and tacit understanding. Olivia had seen. others train monkeys, tigers, and snakes, but she had never seen them. train insects.
It was quiet inside the cage. The voodoo worm lay quietly on the ground, not moving at all.
âWhy is this happening?â Lucy wondered.
Lucy frowned and made hand gestures while playing a tune.
However, the voodoo worm remained motionless..
Lucyâs face had already turned pale, and the people below the stage Alimonbel Musing Darling gan to become restless.
Now, everyone had the same thoughts.
Lucy Lopez has failed! The voodoo worm doesnât listen to her at all!â Lucy became more and more anxious, and the whistle in her mouth. became faster and faster.
Impossible, this is definitely impossible!â Lucy thought, her forehead covered in sweat. âI practiced opening the cage for so long, itâs not possible that I would fail.
Seeing this, Lucy became more and more flustered and didnât know what she was supposed to do.
Braedenâs face darkened slowly.
âLucy!â Braeden spoke. âOpen the cage!â
Braeden wanted Lucy to give up on trying to get the voodoo worm to open the cage.
Lucy was a little unwilling, but she knew that if this continued, she would only make a bigger fool of herself. Lucy could only squat down and open the cage door.
Lucy reached in with her fingertips to let the voodoo worm jump into her hand.
However, after sticking her hand into the cage for a long time, the voodoo worm did not move.
Lucy frowned and looked over carefully. Then, her expression changed drastically.
Lucyâs voodoo worm was dead.
